Forest fire

More wood keeps getting added to

What began as a flickering spark

But what is now a searing bonfire

That threatens to consume the forest around us.

But like every flame

It quivers and wavers

Falters with doubt.

There is nothing solid about fire

And when everything is burned down

When the fire burns itself up

What’s left?

What happens to the consumed when the fire dies out?
